Wood Turtle Use of Agricultural Hayfields and Their Behavior During Hay Harvest: Implications for Wood Turtle Management in Agricultural Landscapes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We quantified mortality risk of agricultural practices on Glyptemys insculpta (Wood Turtle) via radio-tracking of 23 (6M:17F) turtles in an agri-forested landscape in 2017 and 2018. During the hay-harvesting season, ∼35% of turtle locations were within hayfields, and 86% locations of radio-tracked turtles in fields were <30 m from hayfield edges. Movement trials on 14 individuals arbitrarily placed in hayfields established that Wood Turtles can orientate towards a stream and potential safety. However, during hay harvest, Wood Turtles are unlikely to escape to safety, as none of the turtles at our study site were able to avoid the tractor as it circled the field in 5–8 minute intervals. We recommend that managers consider temporarily retaining a minimum 30 m-wide buffer strip of uncut hay along the edge of the field closest to streams during the summer harvesting season.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
